With thousands of people expected to hit the road or take to the sky this weekend, patience is key says Jenny LaValliere who will be doing plenty of travel Thanksgiving Day.
"There's nothing worth being in too much of a rush to risk anyone getting hurt."
Whether you're staying close by like Eileen Buchanan.
"We just want to keep it simple and be at our home base and not have to think about contending with the traffic and everybody else traveling."
Or making travel as much a part of your day as eating and visiting, like LaValliere.
"We'll be traveling to Pulaski and Marinette, big long day of travel."
AAA says you won't be alone. Nearly 800,000 people will be traveling this holiday season, more by road than by air says AAA Wisconsin spokeswoman Beth Mosher.
"That's an increase of about 3% over where we were last year and that's good news for the traveler and great news for so many towns that rely on those travel dollars."
But some like Marci Bethurem, prefer to let others come to them.
"We'll be coming in, my sister is here from Baltimore and our daughter will be here from Ames, Iowa and we'll all meet in Green Bay and have dinner with our folks."
If you're worried about what to make when you get to where you're going, Bethurem has a plan to solve that.
"My cooking amounts to making reservations, I'm a little uneasy about it but I think I'll survive."
